We\u2019ve previously looked at how a fireplace can provide a cosy mountain style to any space. In this latest post we focus on the use of that all important chalet building material \u2013 wood, which can be used in the structure of a build, for decoration or furniture.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
This triple bunk bed kids dorm features bespoke bunk beds made from rough hewn pine to give a cosy \u2018cabin in the woods\u2019 feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"\"<\/a>
The classic combination of wood and local stone is traditional as well as practical and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"\"<\/a>
The security barriers on these gorgeous bunk beds are practical and bring an attractive rustic farmhouse look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"\"<\/a>
Contrast the impressive beauty of wood with white plastered walls, then compliment with thick warm velvet curtains, and soft colourful rugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"\"<\/a>
For a sleek contemporary chalet style, combine wood with white walls and black metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"\"<\/a>
Bois bross\u00e9 is wood heated to very high temperatures, cooled, then brushed, removing the dust formed between the grain of the wood, to reveal the most beautiful textures and patterns, as seen here on the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"\"<\/a>
You can use restored tools discovered during the renovations as furniture and decorative items \u2013 a respectful nod to the history of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"\"<\/a>
Duplicate the solid wooden wall look in your home using thick horizontal wood panelling. Choose from rough hewn, bois bross\u00e9, irregular or regular width planks to suit the space and furnishings, then break up the wood with a contrasting colour wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
